For the longest time (since last summer) I vowed to save money and figure out how to make those Starbuck chocolate-banana vivanno's at home. Little did I know that making them at home not only saves you a ton of money but that you pretty much come 99% close to the exact same drink.Ripe banana, whey protein, cocoa powder, milk and ice. I also added in a bit of greek yogurt to thicken it up when I didn't have ice cubes on hand. Tastes exactly the same as Starbucks.So why not share with you all. It's been my go-to morning drink all week. I just love them. I've added coconut to it just for a little extra something something.

All Starbucks drinks for me can be sucked down in 3.2 seconds. Hot, cold, iced, etc and it's like drinking 5 bucks in a minute and I just can't do it. Anything I can make at home like this...YES! Sounds awesome!

I'm working on a blog post about tastes we like as grown-ups, but didn't as kids and googled "chocolate vivanno" which brought me to this post. I am going to have to try a homemade version with coconut. This sounds so tasty! Thanks for sharing!!
